surprised. but nothing that's going to last. a lot of low clouds, light winds. that h set us up for fog. there's still moisture in the atmosphere. do be careful. your visibility will be impacted. it's reduced in some areas. but it will be out of the way beore too long. we'll see the clouds increasing later on today. in the meantime, we are talking a day where we'll see sunshine. current temperatures 44 degrees at reagan national airport. 37 at manassas. 34 at annapolis. baltimore at 38. 48 at hagerstown. 50 degrees at martinsburg. and 52 at winchester. we're already fairly warm. our highs yesterday only into the 40s. we're pretty much where we were yesterday. so that's a pretty good indication of the warmup that's headed your way. some fog to start. by about idday

expect to be about 48 degrees under partly cloudy skies. the clouds will start to increase later on towards the evening hours. our daytime high today is actually going to be 53 degrees. we're really on a role with a temperature rise. we're talking 50s and tomorrow 60s. but also tomorrow another surprise from mother #2345i tour. a hint of what would happen in the spring. we've also got a cool down to talk about. right now let's check in with julie wright. >> on the roads you are going to find traffic volume increasing and starting to slow. in virginia, northbound route 1, still dealing with water main break. and that's what's tying up the left side of the roadways. 395 coming across the 14th street bridge. the lanes are open. no issues reported. below speed between the beltway and seminary road and the inbound 14th street bridge. the outer loop remains slow from 95

citizenship? president obama at a big campaign rally in las vegas today may suggest he's already done enough. >> this president has aggressively addressed those challenges and taken steps to create a situation where we have tighter boarder security. >> but that may fly in the efforts whe a bipartisan group of senators una comprehensive approach to immigration reform that would offer a form of amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants but only if the boarder is better secured. may be the key to selling this to conservatives. >> that trigger is important. that's why we're where we are today. in 1986, they did not do the enforcement and that led to 11 million people will be right back here if we don't do the enforcement part. >> beyond boarder security, the president actually likes much of what seems to be making headway.

he was also propelled into a second term with overwhelming support with hispanic boarders and may press for more. >> reporter: there's a matter of public support. two thirds of supporters support a pathway for citizenship to illegal immigrants. >> thank you very much. in other news, a $50 billion that would provide emergency relief for victims of super storm sandy is on its way to the president's desk. the senate passed monday by a vote of 62-36. two weeks after the house approved it. some law makers objected to the bill concerned it would add billions of dollars to the nation's debt. >> happening today, the full senate will decide senator john kerry's fate. is expected to confirm as the nation's next secretary of state. kerry won't

expected to unveil a more than $400 million budget surplus. the question is what to do with all of that money? some say it should be put into programs to help those in need. widespread poverty continue to prevent problems. or save it and boost the money in the savings account to more than $1 billion. >> it's really important we use some of the additional resources that dc is getting to make some of those investments in programs that will really help everybody succeed. >> what's the magic of 1.6? gives us two months of expenditures and that's what wall street looks at when determining their ratings. >> and one other reason to save the cash, the extra money would come in handy if there were cut backs in government spending. >> overseas now to egypt, the army warns the country could collapse if the political crisis does not stop soon. yesterday

department. a little on the mild side. we don't have any winter weather to talk about for today. yesterday, freezing rain and sleet. slippery roads and ice. today, we have some fog and just a few scattered showers. take a look at our satellite radar. you may feel a sprinkle or two but may be out of the way before too long. the fog is hampering visibility. do be careful as you are headed on the roads and highways. here's a look at our current temperatures. 44 at reagan national. 43 at dulles and 39 at bwi. temperatures actually are going to be rising today. look at the big divide in the country. pretty indicative here of where we have a cold front. it's strong and move its way through to the east. southerly wind flow and that's going to boost our temperatures not only today but well into tomorrow as well before the cold front comes through and gives us a big change in terms of cooler

conditions. milder air will flow in across the region. today, 50s. tomorrow, 60s. i'm calling it mother nature's spring tease. she's serving up spring weather. this is a strong front that's going to push in and by tomorrow night, afternoon evening, pretty strong thunder storms coming through as a result. and some of the storms could be severe. a slight risk for areas to the risk and to the south. we'll keep a close eye on that. today's high 53 degrees. tomorrow warming up to 65. it's going to cool down behind that front as a ridge of high pressure builds in. could see snow showers on thursday night. then we're back to sunshine and back to reality as we hit to the 30s once again. let's check in with julie wright. >> i'm loving the 60s. january-february, 60 degree weather.

reform bill through the senate by the summer. the bill's goals include more guest workers, tighter rules employers and a smoother transition to citizenship for illegal citizens. from the organization united we dream. julieta, thank you for being with us. before we get into this, just your overall feeling now. you have a president who seems to stand in concert with the illegal immigrants in the country as far as pushing through the dream act, as far as paths to citizenship. how is your organization feeling now as we look at this compromise of sort? >> well, first of all, i would really like to challenge not just you and the public to really humanize us. to not call

us illegals. we're undocumented immigrants. the action that was done but wasn't as of people. i think we're very excited it's bipartisan effort that democrats that and republicans are coming forth saying we need to fix this system and this is what we're going to be doing about it. we're a little concerned about the details but thinking about a feasible and fair consideration for all the immigrants in this country. >> are you concerned when it reaches the house, it might have more trouble moving through with the republican controlled house? >> we know it's going to be a tough fight either in senate or the house. we know the house is controlled by republicans and so we know it's going to be a fight. but we feel that they need to step up to the plate. they lost after the election after their self deportation. many of the gop know they lost

the immigrant vote and need to work for a real solution. >> let's go back to the compromise. does it go far enough to ensure the rights of undocumented workers here in the united states? >> i mean, all we know is they are saying they want a pathway to the citizenship. that's what we are hoping and supporting. we don't know what are the details so i don't know yes we fully support this. we don't know exactly what it's going to be like. >> some of the things you are looking at does prohibit benefits and tighter boarder patrols. how problematic are some of the red flags that your organization might see in the compromise? >> i think some of the concerns are how enforcement going to look like. for example, secure commutes g 87 and how they are going to be enforcing who is going to be allowed in and for

example, the police department going to be working with immigration. that's a huge concern for the immigrant families where families who are going through domestic violence are afraid of calling the police because of the fear of getting deported. >> the support of the president or what you perceive as support of the president, how important is that moving forward? >> i think it's essential. of course, we know he promised immigration reform in his first term. and second term, we're excited about a week after his inauguration and pushing the issue. we still believe he needs to work with both sides just as we're going to be doing to make sure this happens. >> at the beginning and thank you for doing that talked about labeling and identity and you are absolutely right. extremely important. so let me ask you, what other myths or untruths are out there you would like to squash now? i think a lot of people would

think undocumented workers they don't play taxes, blah, blah, blah. set the record straight. >> definitely. i came here when i was 12 years old. i'm now 32 years old. and of course i couldn't live under my mom. i decided to start working. i do pay taxes. and many times we don't even see any of the results on that. one of the other issues is that we're not just here to work. we've grown up here many of us believe we are americans. that's what we hope to become. one of the most important parts is to stop seeing our families being separated. it's hard when we hear of a family member or mother who is being deported and the undocumented immigrant says i don't know what i'm about to

do. we really feel if the president as well as the congress are holding up the american values, they say no more deportation. >> speaking on behalf of undocumented workers. this is julieta and she is with united we dream. tony, over to you. >> thank you very much. still ahead this hour , why you'll probably keep seeing superbowl commercials before the big game. it's 7:39. we'll be back with more fox 5 morning news.

>> that's my favorite part. that and the half-time show. that's my favorite part . >> yeah, here's the problem with the superbowl, when do you go to the bathroom? the commercials are good. >> during the game, it's easy for me. it's been more than a week since she fell and hit her head. and barbara walters is still in the hospital. but it's not because of a head injury. turns out the 83-year-old journalist has chicken pox. whoopi says she has been transported to a new york hospital in hopes to go home soon. >> i have never had chicken pox either. >> look at this. oh, boy. a chinese motorcycle rider may have gotten the ride of his life last week. a tractor trailer took a turn too fast. flipped just inches. he jumped off just

in time. amazingly not murt. that was so close . just got a second lease on life. >> all right. it is 7:43 now. going to feel like we're getting a second lease on something. >> come up with your bathroom solution. you need to get one of those small portable hand held televisions take it with you. >> i didn't know where you were going with that. >> i was holding my breath. but turned out all right . good idea. >> put it on your christmas list. father's day or something. all right. we've got no freezing rain and sleet today. i love putting him on the edge. a few clouds however and some fog. and as you take a look, we have a few scattered showers. nothing that's going to stick around for the course of the day. not much to be concerned with. don't be surprised if you feel a sprinkle or two. moving its way across to the southeast.

and as far as temperatures are concerned, we have changes coming our way. 44 degrees right now. 43 at dulles. and that's the same at bwi. and these temperatures that they are right now are pretty much where we were for our daytime high yesterday. that's a pretty good indication of what's to come. big warmup. we have some fog to start. mild air shuffling in. and we are looking at midday being at 48 degrees. our high today is anticipated to be at 53 degrees. unbelievable. tomorrow however, a change . we have warmer conditions but also a slight risk of seeing severe weather. keeping a close eye on that. what we're getting today and tomorrow is a spring tease. in the 50s today. in the 60s tomorrow. and then we're back to a reality check. you'll see that later in my full 7 day forecast. >> weird. >> yes. crazy weather. >> all right. let's go to

julie and find out what's happening on the roadways. >> on the roads right now busy. got our hands full . for those in charles county, heads up. there is a crash northbound on route 5 between gallant green and brian town road. the northbound lanes remain closed. there are delays on 301 up towards cedar road. headed out towards the capitol beltway. slow moving trip westbound on route 50. accident activity reported here and again, fire rescue units headed in your direction. headed westbound towards the capitol beltway, traffic remains below speed. let's continue with the cameras. show you what's happening out here on the roads. definitely got our hands full with volume increasing out of german town out towards 370. from shady grove road. northbound on 395 delays on the beltway and crossing over the inbound 14th street bridge. don't forget

information. >> maybe he has props for us. not sure what they would be. >> anyway, we don't have freezing rain or sleet to talk about. that's good news. but big changes in the weather pattern. we have fog there this morning though and some low clouds and just a few scattered rain showers pushing their way across our radar. still a sprinkle or two. nothing that's really sticking around. but the fog in some areas hampering your morning commute as advise sablt reduced. yesterday's highs look at these numbers. 40 at dulles. the same at b wi marhsall. 44 at reagan national. 44 at dulles and 43 at bwi. and i'm pointing it out because we are in the same neighborhood where we are yesterday for highs and that's an indication the mercury is going to rise. 53 for our daytime high today. partly sunny skies. increasing clouds later in the day. we've got a mild flow of air that's kicking

reached for a group of senators for immigration reform, president obama is set to reveal his plan later today. the deal offers 11 million undocumented workers a path to citizenship. also creates a guest worker program, employment verification system and green cards to those with college educations. help strengthen the idea of the american dream. >> we have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes and even watch our children while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great. >> if i want to secure the nation, i cannot secure the nation unless i know who is here to pursue the american dream and who might be here to do harm. >> the nation should not combat immigration reform until problems with the u.s. boarder security are solved.

tried to question 54-year-old patricia cook while she was sitting in her car. but he says she rolled up the window, trapped his hand and tried to drive away. he ended up shooting her 7 times. far different from his taped interview hours after the incident. >> it was a dramatic hostage situation that unfolded live on our air two years ago. workers were caught in the middle of a stand off between a bank robber and between. >> now, one of those employees is sharing her story for the first time. she sat down with lauren for an exclusive interview. >> i'm hearing gunfire. let's lock those doors. we need to lock those doors. >> all right. we are following breaking news right now. >> the live coverage was terrifying. a gun man holding a bank teller hostage outside the

capitol one in maryland. >> in a matter of minutes -- two years after that frightening morning, she is still recovering from that experience. >> it totally changed my life. >> she was in her office just to the right when the suspect walked in. she sensed something was wrong. >> it had snowed that week. normally our customers would take off their hats and gloves and this person didn't. that's what caught my eye. >> moments later 43-year-old carlos pulled out a gun and demanded cash. diana was the only one present who spoke spanish and communicate with him. >> a lot of people say it's a cliche but your life literally does pass before your eyes. >> he yanked her by the hair and put a gun to her head. >> there are times i still feel that piece of metal. >> diana says she will never forget the chilling words he

said to her. >> do as i say and you won't get killed. that really stuck with me. i kept repeating to him i have a grandson. i have a grandson. >> as employees scrambled to bring the robber a bag filled with cash. police began arriving at the scene. >> he saw we were surrounded. so i thought he would just kind of shoot me, shoot the other girl and shoot himself because he was not getting out of there. >> fortunately, none of the victims lost their lives. he grabbed a bank teller. held a gun to her head and walked her outside. when he slipped on a patch of ice, she took off running. police shot and killed him on the spot. diana says it was the thought of her family to get her through the deal.

diana's trauma took took a chill. >> i was enclosed in my room. it affects everybody that's close to you. >> she didn't leave her house for three months. >> checking the windows making sure he's not out there. where in my mind i know he's dead. they had to defend us and that's the only way they could do it. but i still feel sometimes that he's present. >> diana has not been able to return to this area since the incident two years ago. she works for the bank but relocated to an office where she no longer works with the public. >> she's still seeking closure. >> god forgive me for saying this but i've not been able to forgive him. >> little by little, i've tried to let go. and it's been very hard.

there are times where your mood is great. you are moving on. there are times where the days are not so great. >> she's found focusing on helping others through charity work and doesn't take anything for granted. >> our lives could have ended that day but god said no, you're staying down there. you have work i need you to get done. that's what i'm doing. the best i can. >> fox 5 news. >> thank you, lauren for that. diana and the other workers including the teller you see kept in touch for the first few months but have since gone their separate ways. >> diana says she is looking into starting up a support group for survivors of traumatic experiences. >> from baltimore to the big easy, the ravens land in new orleans. how charm city sent their team to the superbowl.

for temperatures into the 50s. by tomorrow, we're headed for the 60s. a nice treat for mother nature. also serving us storms into wednesday. wednesday afternoon and evening, we're under a slight risk to the south and west of us of seeing severe weather. it will be a warm day but also be an active day. not so active today. partly sunny skies. we have fog but it will be mild. get out and enjoy it. let's check in with julie wright. >> still very busy at this hour. let's get right to it. show you the outer loop of the beltway at root 4. the crash tying up the left lane. there's also delay on the inner loop down to 16 miles an hour into the local lanes headed for the wilson bridge. westbound freeway the crash has cleared. let's continue with the cameras and show you what's out there on the roads. a slow go off of the inner loop southbound 95, 495 college park.

lanes are open. outer loop of the beltway below speed and now southbound on 270 delays out of german town leaving rockville. that's a check of your fox 5 on time traffic. >> thank you very much. law makers in virginia and in the maryland state legislatures have tried their hands at redrawing voting districts to benefit their respective parties. some citizens may shrug it off but there could be a price to pay if those practices continue unabated. joining us now is robert mccartney. just recently wrote about this issue. good morning. thanks for coming in. let's talk about what's going on in virginia first of all most recently. >> well, there are two things underway in virginia but only one might happen. and that is they want to redesign the districts for the state senate

to benefit the republicans. this is passed by the state senate 20-19. one democrat was away attending the president's inauguration. they were able to get it through. now, it's in the house. it's not clear what's going to happen in the house. but the governor said he didn't like the way they did it. but he has left open the possibility he might sign it. and what's really troubling to me and to people who look at this professionally like academics and good government experts and people like that is that the -- they've been doing this for years. both parties have been doing this for decades. the state constitution makes clear, they only want a major redistricting once every 10 years and happened last year. and the democrats controlled the senate. and so they redrew the lines of the senate districts to favor themselves and the

republicans controlled the house and they did the same in the house. well, now, a year later where the republicans have an edge now, they were able to get an edge, they are trying to undue what happened last time. and what people are saying is if they are allowed to do this every year and not just once every ten years that is pegged to the census, this could become a permanent trait of our political system. you could have constant fights all the time about redistricting. that's the real concern in this case in virginia. the other thing that they were try to go do but looks like that's dead is to change the way that electoral college votes are apportioned. there was a proposal to basically change the way the electoral college votes are divvied up. this is for the presidential election and under the way they were proposing even though obama carried virginia by 150,000 voetz, romney would have

gotten 9 out of 13 of virginia easy electric for 's electoral votes. >> the governor said he would oppose it after two republican senators said they'd oppose it. it clearly was going nowhere. i don't give the governor political credit. >> here's what i want to know. i want to point out the republicans, there is this in this state constitution, you can only do this once every ten years. the republicans are saying we have to pass this time. we're trying to fix things up. >> unfair stuff the democrats did last time. but that's right. that's their argument. i think that's a phone y argument. >> we also saw this recently in maryland. >> blatantly. by the democrats in maryland. >> it's what resulted in rosco

bartlet. >> the democrats controlled maryland. they redrew the u.s. congressional districts prior to last november's election. squeeze out one of the two republican congressman. rosco bartlet. and sure enough they made the district more democrat. the district extends from the western tip of maryland down deep into montgomery county to pick up more democrats and sure enough the democrats picked up that seat. so they did it blatantly themselves. >> are we seeing more of this than we used to see? certainly seems like we're hearing about it more. >> that's a good question. i think both party ies have done it a lot. certainly getting a

lot of attention this year because after the last -- just so happens, after the last census, in the 2010 elections if you remember, that was the big tea party election. there was a big republican backlash against obama who had been elected in 08 the first time. so republicans control a high number of state houses. a disproportionate number of state houses compared to how they do in the presidential race. this came right after the census. they were able to redraw the lines a lot to favor the republicans. and this explains basically why the republicans now control the house of representatives. if you look at all the congressional races last november, democrats won a slight majority of the popular vote in-house races nationwide. but of course, the republicans still

have a 33 seat majority in the house. and that's almost entirely because of jerry. >> we're out of time unfortunately. bottom line is if you are concerned about this, you need to express your concern to your law makers. thank you, bob. we appreciate it. stay with us. we'll be back with more. it's 8:25. ♪

welcome back. taking a look at world news. investigators in brazil say there were no fire alarms, no fire extinguishers, no sprinklers and only one exit inside a night club that caught fire over the weekend. 231 college students were killed. the club's ceiling was covered with insulation made from come bustable material which caught fire. four people, two band members and two club owners have been arrested in connection with the fire. >> a new york mother of two is still missing in turkey and her husband and brother are now there trying to get answers. she was supposed to come home january 21st but never made that flight and no one has heard from her. police say she took a side trip to amsterdam but back in

istanbul to catch her flight home. she planned a trip with a friend who canceled at the last minute. >> all right. now, we want to go to gwen to get the latest on our forecast which is a changing and evolving forecast. >> definitely so, tony. yesterday we dealt with freezing rain, the sleet and the rain. today quite a bit of a different story. we have clouds and we have fog that's pushing in across the area here as well today. satellite radar showing you we've picked up a few light scattered isolated showers. might felt a sprinkle or two. other than that, not a whole lot happening in terms of that. the low clouds will be sticking around and later today increasing clouds ahead of a frontal system. i've got 44 degrees at reagan national airport. kicking in at dulles at well. 43 at bwi and these current temperatures are actually right in the ballpark

of the temperatures that we had for yesterday's highs. we are headed for a warmup. but take a look at our national temperature map. very distinct dividing line here. the warmer conditions through the colder conditions. we have a strong cold front responsible for that. on the backside, cooler air pushing in. ahead of it, the warmer airstreaming up the midatlantic. and that's going to help boost our temperature. by the time we get through today, into the low 50s. by midday 48 degrees. so not bad at all. but that frontal system will bring us a chance of thunder storms into wednesday. we're going to be hitting into the 60s at that point. a real spring tease. more details a little later on. let's check in with allison and tony. >> thank you so much. the recent winter ather has been brutally cold. we're headed for the warmup. but will the change

in temperatures make us all sick? dr. mike joins us now. i'm sorry. i am under the weather myself. i am waiting to hear, does the weather affect our immune system? good morning. >> good morning. and first of all, you may be sick but you look absolutely fantastic. >> oh, dr. mike, stop it. thank you dr. mike . >> all right. so can the weather actually affect and make you sick but there's some truth to that. we've gone from really frigid weather. now we're going to very warm temperature. if you are someone who has a history of lung problems or asthma and i brought with me a couple of lungs here. basically what can happen is it can cause cough and wheezing because there's lots of little nerve endings. and the lungs are

sensitive to changes in temperature. now, can it cause a cold? no. what happens is you have to be exposed to a virus or you have to be exposed to a bacteria to have those conditions. but the weather certainly can have a negative affect on your health. >> so what can we do to stay healthy during the changing weather, dr. mike? >> number one, especially at this time of year when the flu is still around and we're in doors a lot. cause it's going to get cold before it becomes summertime again, what we need to do is make sure you wash your hands. make sure if you are sick, stay home. now, we call it present theism when you are sick and come to work. i'm talking about people who have the flu or the norovirus. stay home if you're sick.

and then finally keep your immune system strong. get plenty of rest, stay hydrated. drink plenty of fluids and eat good food. broccoli, colliflower. they will keep you fit as a fiddle. >> okay. best advice ever. there's also a study out linking aspirin to long-term vision problems. what can you tell us about that? >> this is a study that has gotten a lot of press. and basically, what it found was that people who take aspirin on a regular basis for some reason tend years before the on set of this eye condition known as macular degeneration. what happens is there's an increased risk. before everyone stops taking their aspirin, remember

that cardiovascular disease kills lots and lots of people. far more than is caused by problems with your vision. it's a small increase. problems with this study. check with your doctor but my opinion is if you are on an aspirin and need to be on an aspirin, stay on it. >> no need to switch and look for alternate sort of the same thing aspirin does for our heart. should we switch at all or what's your advice there? >> if you have a strong family history with problems with your eyes and that sort of thing, check with your doctor to make sure that that's not a problem. in my opinion though, the vast majority of people benefit from taking baby aspirin, especially and you have to prevent the risk of having a heart attack. there isn't really anything that's been shown to be as good as

aspirin for preventing cardiovascular issues. i'm a big believer in low dosage aspirin. >> the minutes i've been speaking with you, i have felt so much better. thank you so much dr. mike. you are what the doctor orders. >> hopefully that trend will continue. >> see you next time. >> love ya. >> love you too. >> is the love fest done now? >> yes, it is. >> okay. good. >> music man , passes away. a the sugar foot and the ohio player. >> he sees tiger woods of old on the links. >> more on tiger's convincing win and what it might say. >> don't i sound better? >> you do sound better. that's weird. he has a magical affect on you. >> and he makes me happy. don't judge us. eese at noon, a turkey-cheddar-bacon in the afternoon, or a tuna salad when the job is done, sandwich on your terms with any of dunkin's
